My father is Emperor Wu of Han, how can I be different from him?

Chapter 186 Father, You Taught Me
During the hottest days of summer, which should have been the time to escape the heat, the prince returned to the Prince's Palace in Chang'an.

Taking a few days off is to avoid the limelight, but staying for ten days or half a month would become indulgence and laziness. Too much is as bad as too little. Liu Ju didn't really need to escape the summer heat.

After returning to Chang'an, everything was back to normal.

He attended court and did his work as usual. During these days when everything was going on as usual, Liu Ju looked for some little things.

It was not easy to find at the beginning. After going around in circles, the ore was not found in the Temple of Workers' Institute, but was found in the Medical Museum of Bowang Garden.

After hearing what the prince was looking for, Tang An told Liu Ju a prescription:

Five stones scattered.

Take cinnabar, realgar, alum, azurite and magnet to make medicine.

Liu Ju did not have the preferences of the scholars of the Wei and Jin Dynasties, nor did he have the idea of ​​taking medicine to ascend to immortality. He just took the last kind of ore.

Do you think he is trying to expose some people's tricks?
No.

Liu Ju was tired of dismantling it.

He gathered the guards of the Prince's Palace together, demonstrated the "divine power" to them, and then burned the ore in a raging fire.

Soon, the magical mineral with great power became ordinary. This is why when the guards returned to the mountain road to search afterwards, all the magical things disappeared without a trace.

After relieving the anxiety of his men and gaining a wave of shock, Liu Ju waved his hand and asked them to disperse.

Yes, it's scattered.

Turning around, Liu Ju put the matter behind him and continued to do what he was doing.

It's midsummer.

The temperature was sultry and the clouds in the sky were heavy, making people feel upset.

Things have been going wrong recently, and it seems that everyone and everything are against him. Luan Da glanced at the sky, fanned the wind, and said impatiently:
"Keep a low profile and go."

"Yes."

When going out today, Luan Da did not use the luxurious carriage that His Majesty had bestowed upon him in the past, but chose an inconspicuous carriage.

He only brought one close follower with him and quietly left through the back door of the mansion.

He walked through the streets and alleys, away from Shangguanli where dignitaries gathered, and headed north.

Since Weiyang Palace and Changle Palace were located in the south of Chang'an City, due to the mentality of climbing up the social ladder, the south side was mostly occupied by the residences of officials and wealthy people, while the north side was mostly occupied by civilians.

Gao Street.

In an alley not far from the Barbarian Residence, the carriage stopped. Upon seeing the visitor, a man who had been waiting at the door lamented:

"Brother, you are here. I..."

"Shut up!" Luan Da glanced at him, "Let's go in and talk."

"Yes Yes."

The man did not dare to be negligent and quickly led the way to the courtyard. Luan Da and the other party entered the main house. There was nothing to entertain guests in the house, and the man did not show any modesty.

Wiping the sweat that had come out because of the heat or something else, he said again in embarrassment: "Brother, I can't do what you asked me to do!"

"how?"

Luan Da was patient and frowned, saying, "You came to me from Jiaodong State, asking for money, women, and even a future. Which of them did I not agree to?"

"Whoa!"

The man with a black mole on his lower lip patted his thigh, hesitating as if he didn't know what to say. After thinking for a moment, he simply stood up, crawled to Luan Da's side, and whispered:

"Brother, I'm scared!"

Luan Da looked at his plain-looking junior brother and wanted to yell at him several times, but he held back and said in a firm tone:
"What are you afraid of? Aren't there many brothers and sisters who commit adultery in the royal family? The prince stopped me from marrying the princess. There is no smoke without fire. Why did he stop me?"

"If you spread the news, there will be people who will believe it!"

“But…” After hearing this, the man avoided her gaze. He seemed to be embarrassed and afraid, and he kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

"All right."

As if Luan Da could see what he was thinking, he leaned back and added, "Do it secretly, no one will know it was you who did it."

"After the matter is completed, I will give you an extra hundred gold and arrange a lucrative position for you."

"how?"

The man nervously stroked the mole on his face, hesitating and talking about other things.

Luan Da's patience was being rapidly worn out. If he had not been in power for a short time and if he was the only trustworthy person on hand, he would have turned against him long ago.

He endured it again and again, and raised the price again. Seeing that he still refused to give in, Luan Da's tone became more dangerous:
"Junior brother, I trust you, so I asked you to do this. Spread the news of the Crown Prince and Princess Wei Chang's adultery. Now only you and I know about it."

"If you don't do it, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult for me to handle it..."

Boom!

There was a sudden thunder outside the house, which frightened the man. He quickly looked at Luan Da and held Le Tonghou's hand, "Do it, Senior Brother, I'll do it!"

"Isn't it okay for me to do it?"

Luan Da snorted in his heart, and broke free from the sweaty hand. He stood up and said, "In that case, don't contact me recently."

"Be careful. When the matter is done, I will find you a lucrative job in one of the vassal states. You will enjoy wealth, glory, fine clothes and delicious food!"

"Yes, thank you, brother!"

The man bowed his head and thanked him repeatedly. Seeing this, Luan Da flicked his sleeves and walked out of the yard.

At this time, the sky was already covered with dark clouds, and the heavy rain was about to come. Luan Da raised his sleeves to cover his hair crown, and quickly got into the carriage, "Go back home."

"Yes, master."

The heavy rain in summer comes fast and fast. The sultry weather that has been brewing for several days reaches its climax at this moment. Once released, the wind is mixed with rain, and the thunder is accompanied by lightning.

Let it all out in one go.

What a heavy rain, lightning and thunder!
The carriage was traveling eastward along Gao Street. After less than a quarter of an hour, Luan Da noticed something strange and asked, "Why did you stop?" "Master, there is someone blocking the road ahead." The driver's vague voice sounded.

block the way?

Luan Da lifted the carriage curtain and looked intently. There was only heavy rain pouring down on the street ahead. The people had already gone home. There was no one on the street.

Before he could ask, a loud shout suddenly came from above:
"Monster Luan Da!"

"You use crude magic to deceive the world and disrupt the government. Your crimes are extremely serious. Today is the day you die!"

When Luan Da heard this, he became angry and leaned out of the carriage, looking in the direction of the voice, only to see a man standing on the roof on the right.

The raindrops soaked through his clothes, but the strong wind continued to blow up his sleeves. His clothes fluttered in the wind and rain, and he stood tall and straight.

If you are like a banished immortal!
Luan Da looked intently through the heavy rain, and when he saw the man's face clearly, his anger grew even more.

He got out of the carriage, ignoring the wet corners of his clothes, and said coldly to the man on the roof: "I thought it was someone else, but it turns out to be the low-class person I kicked out of the house."

"Have you lost your mind now? How dare you speak so shamelessly!"

In recent days, countless alchemists have come to Luan Da for help, but he will not accept every one of them as his disciple.

now.

The one standing on the roof, in the wind and rain, is the one who is shut out.

"The demon is so arrogant!"

Facing Luan Da's rebuttal, the banished immortal put one hand behind his back and pointed to the sky with the other.

"I came to your house just to test your true intentions. After three days of observation, I know that you are deceiving the people. The river burst its banks, and it is only natural for the court to provide relief!"

"You evil man, you pretended to be a divine messenger and deceived the emperor. You are guilty of a heinous crime! Today, I will follow the divine order and kill you!"

After hearing this, Luan Da could only sneer.

God? Why would you talk about a decree in front of a Taoist priest who plays with gods?
ridiculous!

At this moment, there was a heavy storm, thunder and lightning, which looked like a sign of the gods being angry. Luan Da glanced at the sky and said with disdain in his heart:
"This fellow has picked a good stage!"

Now that he had reached the shore and put on his shoes, he was unwilling and disdainful to compete with a peasant like him.

He leaned over to turn the carriage around, but when Luan Da bent down, he found that his driver had disappeared without a trace.

Luan Da's heart skipped a beat and he looked around subconsciously.

There were many people peeking out of the shops along the street and shouting in the rain, which was really fresh. Seeing this, Luan Da had a vague feeling that something was wrong.

However, it was too late.

Noticing a white light suddenly appearing in the sky and then striking down a few feet in front of him, the exiled immortal standing on the roof suddenly roared:

"Thunder God, help me!!"

Click——!
A roar and a roar sounded in the sky, but before that, a few breaths ago, a bolt of lightning had already struck the carriage on the street!
The gods were angry.

Luan Da, whose clothes were soaked, didn't make a sound, and didn't even retract his body from looking outside. He fell directly from the carriage and fell into the mud.

Face down, motionless...

Suddenly, they were struck by lightning. The lightning was still right in front of their eyes, and the people who were previously looking around on both sides of the street instantly retracted their heads.

On the empty and silent street, in the rain, a voice came from afar, "This is a punishment. Anyone who causes chaos in the world again will be punished!"

The raindrops fell with a clatter, but the roar of the sky gradually stopped, as if it had completed its mission and disappeared along with the banished immortal.

I do not know how long it has been.

A pair of feet appeared next to the lying body, kicked, and then there were more footprints coming out of the rain to watch.

They came and left in a hurry, leaving their discussions floating between heaven and earth.

"Is this really a demon?"

"He was struck by lightning from heaven, how can it be fake?"

"Hey, go, go, don't touch me."

Among the crowd coming and going, one of them touched the back of the carriage, then disappeared at the end of the street.

Also disappearing was a kite blown away by the strong wind...

Outside Chang'an City.

In the heavy rain, two men wearing straw raincoats threw a corpse into a pit.

thump.

The body of the exiled immortal created a splash of water.

The man kneeling beside the pit was shaking, begging, "Please forgive me, please forgive me, I don't know anything, I..."

puff!
The dagger stabbed into the man's throat and his voice stopped abruptly.

Life also came to an end.

The black mole that should bring him good luck seemed to be ineffective today.

The body was put into the pit and the soil was dug to fill it.

End.

The man in the straw raincoat changed his clothes outside the city, went around from the north to the south, entered from the Bacheng Gate, walked along the Hengguan Road, and entered the Changle Palace.

Finally, we arrived at the Prince's Palace.

"Your Highness, the work is done." Jin Midi, who had been elusive since he took on the spy job, bowed and clasped his fists and reported.

The prince standing at the window waved his hand, and Jin Midi stepped back on his own.

Liu Ju looked at the heavy rain outside the window, his expression neither sad nor happy, he only murmured in his heart: "Father, I remember what you taught me..."
